Chapter 148 Our Lao Liu is also worthy of a "correspondent"
At ten o'clock in the evening, the movie ended and Xu Damao and others had to spend the night in the camp and return to the factory the next day.

Back in the single dormitory, Liu Zhiye fetched some water and prepared to wash up and rest.

It was Xu Damao's first time staying in the military camp. He was so excited that he could not fall asleep, so he went to Liu Zhiye's room to chat with him.

"Is the leader busy?" Xu Damao saw the open door and walked in, saying
It’s really strange to say, when we were in the compound, although everyone knew that Liu Zhiye was the leader, everyone got along with each other quite calmly.

However, after seeing Liu Zhiye's majestic side in the camp, Xu Damao's attitude towards him changed significantly. When he saw him again, Xu Damao obviously felt that he had become much more restrained.

Liu Zhiye looked at Xu Damao who was timid and submissive, like a pug, and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Brother Damao, don't be so polite. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hey, Brother Liu, I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with you." He glanced at Liu Zhiye and saw that he didn't care about the address, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Liu, will you go home tomorrow?"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Liu Zhiye asked curiously, "Damo, is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Damao quickly responded, "Brother Liu, it's like this. I recently collected a batch of old items. It's not safe to keep these bottles and jars at home. I'm afraid they'll be ruined for you, so I wanted to give them to you earlier."

"Wow! Great, Damao. You are very efficient. It has only been a short time and you have collected another batch." Liu Zhiye said in surprise.

Xu Damao worked very hard during this period and helped him collect a lot of old items. Although the quality of these antiques was good or bad, there were indeed a lot of them and the prices were quite cheap.

He smiled triumphantly. Xu Damao's efforts finally paid off. He successfully established a connection with Director Liu, and the two got along well.

Liu Zhiye thought about it and thought it was time to go back home. He had been running around outside these days and had no time to go home. If he didn't go back, his family would probably be dissatisfied.

So, he smiled and said to Xu Damao: "Okay! Damao, come with me tomorrow."

"I just happen to have something I want to ask you, but it's too late today, let's talk on the way tomorrow!"

When Xu Damao heard that Liu Zhiye had ordered them to leave, he realized that his goal had been achieved. So he responded cheerfully, "Okay! Brother Liu! Go to bed early. I'll see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

…………

"Da-da-di-da-di-da-da-da-da-..."

At 5:, the wake-up call sounded on time. Liu Zhiye jumped out of bed immediately after hearing the call. He is a hardworking person and has a high sensitivity to time.

Then, he stretched his body, refreshed. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he always felt that the quality of sleep in the military camp was surprisingly high, and he was immersed in dreams, which were particularly sweet.

"Thum!" "Thum!" "Thum!"

"Enter!"

"Wow! Old Xu, you're quicker than me at getting up early." Liu Zhiye said in surprise when he saw the instructor Xu Shifang walking in with a young man in his early twenties who looked dashing.

He looked at the young man in front of him. Obviously, this was the comrade Xu Shifang had just brought with him. He looked quite energetic.

"Well, I woke up early because I'm a light sleeper. It's a good opportunity to talk to my new colleague." Xu Shifang responded with a smile, while introducing the young man to Liu Zhiye, "This is the correspondent assigned to you by the bureau, Li Ming."

Li Ming stood straight, raised his hand and saluted, his voice as loud as a bell: "Hello, Chief!"

Liu Zhiye looked Li Ming up and down, smiled and nodded, "Young people are full of energy. Li Ming, you should learn more from me in the future. Don't be afraid of hardship."

Li Ming smiled shyly, "Thank you, Chief. I will try my best."

Xu Shifang added, "Li Ming came here on the supply truck this morning. He arrived at the camp before 5 o'clock."

After hearing this, Liu Zhiye asked with concern: "Wow! You are quite active. You haven't had breakfast yet?" Li Ming smiled and did not answer.

"Li Ming, tell me about your personal situation." Liu Zhiye took the initiative to ask about Li Ming's personal situation. As a correspondent and secretary who will have a close relationship with him in the future, it is necessary to know his relevant information.

After hearing the chief's question, Li Ming immediately replied: "Head, I am 21 years old, from Dongcheng, Beijing, and graduated from Beijing Public Security School." His voice was clear and firm, full of confidence. "Wow! You are also a top student majoring in public security. That's great. With your help in the future, I will be much more relaxed." Liu Zhiye said happily after hearing this.

He went on to say: "However, from now on, don't call me chief. Just call me captain." There was a hint of seriousness in Liu Zhiye's tone, but more of a kindliness.

This is not to call him "chief", which is against the rules. There is nothing wrong with this title. Because the word "chief" has existed since ancient times and is not limited to the title of senior military leaders.

"Wei Liaozi·Shu Wu Ling": "If the leader is missing, he should be found. If the leader is not lost, there will be a reward. If the leader is missing, he will die and his family will be destroyed. If the leader is found again in the battle, he will be eliminated." "New Tang Book·Bing Zhi": "Ten cavalrymen form a fire group, and five fire groups form a group, all with a leader."

Liang Qichao's "On New Citizens" 13: "Those who are good at leading a group must appoint a leader to represent the whole group."

"Chief" refers to a senior leader in a government or military, or a person or group of people who rank first in a certain area.

For example, in a regiment, the regiment commander is the chief; in a battalion, the battalion commander is the chief; similarly, when a group of generals or ministers are in front of the national leader, the leader is the chief.

Li Ming immediately followed suit and said with a smile, "Yes! Captain!"

Liu Zhiye nodded, glanced at him with satisfaction, and then said, "Let's go to the drill first, and we'll talk more after we come back." Then he fastened his belt and led the way out of the room. Seeing this, Xu and Li followed.

Afterwards, the three of them came to the end of the playground and started running vigorously following the jogging team.

……

After breakfast, Liu Zhiye took Li Ming to the conference room for a meeting. After the meeting, some leading cadres will stay in the camp to participate in the daily management of the training brigade.

They will take on daily management tasks within the camp and provide guarantees for the smooth operation of the training team.

Some leading cadres returned to the brigade station to be responsible for the construction progress of the brigade station. They will devote all their efforts to ensure that the station construction is completed on schedule and provide a better working and living environment for the brigade.

As a key leader, Liu Zhiye has recently been living in Shajiabang. After the meeting, he would go home to explain the situation.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Zhiye and Li Ming entered the meeting room one after another. Liu Zhiye sat in the main seat, while Li Ming placed a teacup in front of him, then sat behind him, took out a notebook and began to take notes of the meeting.

Liu Zhiye was filled with joy at this scene. He thought to himself that it was a great pleasure for him to have a secretary at such a young age. No wonder some people say that power is a poison that makes people unable to stop.

"Li Ming!"

"Yes!" Li responded loudly.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said to the comrades: "Let me introduce you to Comrade Li Ming. He is a new comrade and will serve as my correspondent in the future."

Huang Guohua, the office director at the moment, responded with a smile: "Captain, according to the instructions in the document above, you will be equipped with a communicator and a driver. Since the communicator has been confirmed, can you also put the selection of your driver on the agenda?"

Liu Zhiye thought about it, nodded and said, "Your office can choose one from the trainees."

His promotion this time can be described as a leap forward, because he holds multiple positions (deputy director of the Security Department, deputy director of the Public Security Department, and captain of the Public Security Brigade). Although he is at the deputy director level, he enjoys the treatment of a full director level.

In order to allow him to have more rest time, the organization specially provided him with a communicator and a driver.

Liu Zhiye couldn't help but fall into memories, tracing back to his past life, which was a scene at the groundbreaking ceremony of a joint venture factory with 3,000 employees in his hometown.

At that time, he was still in primary school, and he was organized by the school to be a member of the military band, playing at the construction site. He was wearing a military uniform, a military cap, playing a trumpet, and looked extremely focused.

The scene at that time was packed with people. The county's top leader was present in person, with the same configuration as he has now, with a secretary and a driver, and surrounded by people, like a moon surrounded by stars.

At that time he was just a child and didn't know what the immensity of heaven and earth was. He always thought that a real man should be like this.

Later, when I grew up... Oh! It's all tears if I talk about these things too much.
